Sexual Harassment Prevention Illinois

Illinois requires this training every year, for every employee, and expects it to be interactive rather than a video someone leaves playing in the corner. This course is built that way. Four modules cover who is protected and what the Illinois definition actually reaches, what prohibited conduct looks like in person and online, how reporting works and where the Illinois Department of Human Rights and the EEOC fit in, and what employers owe once a concern arrives. Twenty checkpoint questions sit inside the videos, each module ends in a quiz, and the final exam is drawn at random from a 28-question bank.

Who This Course Is For

Illinois applies the annual training duty to every employer with employees working in the state, and it reaches staff broadly rather than only managers. If you run a restaurant or bar, this course alone is not enough — Illinois asks covered venues for a supplemental module on top of it, and our Illinois Restaurants & Bars course carries both.

A Final Exam Drawn at Random

The final assessment pulls 10 questions from a 28-question bank and shuffles the answer options on every attempt. Module quizzes and in-video checkpoints shuffle their options too, so there is no answer pattern to pass around the office. You need 80% to pass, and you can retake it as many times as you need. Each retake is a fresh draw, not a second run at the same paper.

What This Completion Record Does and Does Not Cover

Completion documents annual interactive sexual harassment prevention training for Illinois workplaces. It does not decide a complaint, waive reporting rights, or provide personal legal advice, and it does not replace the employer’s own written policy, complaint form, designated reporting contacts, question-response route or emergency instructions, which the employer must supply and keep current.

What You Still Have to Supply

Read this before you assign seats. It is the one part of the job the course cannot do for you.

Employers: this course delivers the annual sexual harassment prevention training required of every Illinois employer under Section 2-109. To complete your obligation you must also distribute your own policy and complaint form and tell your staff who their reporting contacts are. Nothing in this course fabricates those details. If you operate a restaurant or bar, Section 2-110 requires supplemental industry-specific training in addition to this course — that is our separate Illinois Restaurants & Bars course.

The rules this course is built on

We teach to the published text. Read it yourself — every link below goes to the issuing agency or legislature, not to a summary.

Issuing authority: Illinois General Assembly (Illinois Human Rights Act)

  • 775 ILCS 5/2-109 — Sexual harassment prevention training

    The statute requiring every employer with employees in Illinois to provide sexual harassment prevention training at least once a year, using the Department of Human Rights model programme or one that equals or exceeds its minimum standards.

Provided so you can verify what we teach against the source. This is reference material, not legal advice, and reading it does not by itself discharge an employer obligation.

Common Questions

Does buying this course finish our training obligation?

No, and we would rather say so before you pay than after. This delivers the annual prevention training and records who completed it. You still have to give your staff your own sexual harassment prevention policy, tell them where the complaint form lives, name at least two people a report can go to, tell them where to send a question about the policy, and tell them what to do in an emergency. The course teaches learners to go looking for those five things; it cannot invent them for your workplace.

Is this legal advice?

No. It is training. It explains the standard and how reporting, investigations and retaliation protection are supposed to work in general terms. It does not decide any individual complaint and it is not a substitute for a lawyer when you have a live situation.

How often does this training have to be repeated?

Every year. Illinois asks for sexual harassment prevention training at least once a year for all employees working in the state, so this is a recurring annual assignment rather than a one-off at hire. The completion record is dated so you can track the cycle.

We run a restaurant or a bar. Is this course enough on its own?

No. Illinois asks covered restaurants and bars for supplemental, industry-specific training in addition to this general programme — not instead of it. Our Illinois Restaurants & Bars course contains these four modules plus the hospitality supplement, so a covered venue buys that one course rather than two.

We already bought your general sexual harassment prevention course. Is this the same thing?

No. This is a separate, Illinois-specific course: the Illinois Human Rights Act runs through it, and the reporting module names the Illinois Department of Human Rights process alongside the federal EEOC one. The two courses keep separate completion records, so finishing this one does not overwrite the other and a worker can hold both.

Does watching the videos count as interactive training on its own?

Passive playback is not the point. That is why there are twenty checkpoint questions inside the videos, a quiz after every module and a final exam, each with feedback on the answer. Seeking forward past a checkpoint is blocked, and playback pauses after a stretch of inactivity.

Does it cover conduct that happens by text, chat or after hours?

Yes. Module 2 works through verbal, written, visual and physical conduct and then takes digital and remote-work scenarios directly, alongside harassment by supervisors, coworkers and customers.

Do part-time and seasonal workers need it?

Treat them as included. The Illinois duty reaches employees broadly rather than being limited to full-time or salaried staff, and the course is written for all staff rather than only managers.

What happens if someone fails the final exam?

They retake it. Every attempt draws a new set of questions from the bank, so a retake is a real re-test.

Can I buy seats for my team?

Yes. Five-seat and ten-seat bundles are on this page, and there is an enterprise option for larger headcounts.
